(Actually, you may understand most of it even if you don't.)

There's this Bédéiste (comic writer, if you will) who has a blog (duh! don't they all these days?). I admit, I don't read him regularly (two or three times a year, maybe), but I did today, and looking his past posts, I found this one about the revenge of the geeks. It's mostly fun all along, until the end where the punch is very well done. So if you feel like it, enjoy!
